On the contrary, it seems very modular, but for a complex goal you
need more complicate integration. If you were forced to use the
designer wholesale, and depend on Lazarus package format, etc, then it
wasn't modular ;-)
I would infer from Mattias' post that if you don't use external form
references, frames or visual form inheritance, it's feasible and
relatively easy/straight-forward.
